Report: Celtics forward Wallace to retireBasketball Betting Lines06/24/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Celtics forward Rasheed Wallace has reportedly decided to end his NBA career after 15 years in the league. Speculation was building that Wallace would retire after the Celtics lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games in the NBA Finals, and Thursday night a league source informed TNT analyst David Aldridge of Wallace's retirement plans. Wallace, who will turn 36 in September, had two years remaining on his three- year, $18.9 million contract with the Celtics. Known for his tenacious play and tendency to pick up numerous technical fouls, Wallace would end his career with 14.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. He was taken by Washington with the fourth overall pick in the 1995 draft, but spent just one season playing in the nation's capital before being traded to Portland. Wallace was with the Trail Blazers from 1996-2004 before he was traded to Atlanta. Just 10 days later, on February 19, 2004, Wallace was traded to Detroit and he excelled for the Pistons, helping them to the championship later that year. He joined the Celtics prior to the 2009-10 season.
